At the back, in the south, were the T'ai Hsiang Temple and the Feng Chiang Pagoda, where were domiciled the ordinary priests and nuns; while in the front, facing the north, was the main temple. Round the temple was a large estate, enclosed by a wall, which had two gates. One, the Ch'i Ch'un gate, faced the west; the other, the Jung Kuo gate, stood towards the east."SynopsisBook 1 is the first part of Cao Xueqin's timeless Chinese novel.
